OUCH. de buyer ain't cheap but maybe its because its imported in USA?? I'd stick to carbon de buyer instead. good enough.
I am surprised though because the prima matera is not exactly new. been for sale in europe for a while now....maybe its just the frying pan thats new in the line?

I have quite a few copper pieces, which I love. While I never plan on switching from gas, I can see induction capable copper being pretty nice. I certainly prefer the traditional cast iron handles, though.

Any ideas about any model of deBuyer or other steel pans that would have a more rounded bottom (not sure of the term) to be used for omelets and such? My deBuyers all have a less than gentle slope that makes flipping an omelet not work so great.

once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right

Get a 9" crêpe pan. It's what I use and my omelets are internationally know.... Ha

Just picked up the cheapest (?) of the De Buyer line, the La Lyonnaise Blue Steel or something. It was the cheapest because the steel was thin (~ 3mm)

Compared to my $10 china carbon-steel wok, I think $30 for a much better made pan is a pretty good deal!

After 30 min of seasoning I'd say it is mostly non-stick but it also warped a little =( Gonna try hammering it back into shape later, or is that a bad idea?

The "Force Bleu" (blue steel) line is my favourite. I actually prefer it to the much more expensive Mineral line, because it's lighter, gets super hot easier, is easier to properly season (in my opinion), and well...maybe I'm just sentimental.
